The 1969 edition of
Who's Who Among Students

by Dr. Lucy Fryxell. Other
faculty members were
Sheldon Tostengard and
Sister Elizabeth Ann Marker.

been elected president of the
National Association of
Lutheran College Faculties
during the 34th annual
conference held this year at
Dana College, Blair, Nebr.
The theme of the conference
was "Faculty, and the New
Intellectual".
Membership of this
association is composed of
all acuity members of
Lutheran colleges and all
Lutheran faculty in
non-Lutheran colleges. The
loosely organized
organization has the purpose
of bringing together faculty
members who are concerned
with the problems of a

The Augustana Board of
Regents will be meeting on
campus October 30 and 31.
Some will be coming from as
far away as Chicago, Illinois,
while others are from Sioux
Falls. Topics they will
discuss range from the
progress of the New
Horizons Fund drive to
discussion on a new dorm
policy. Since the Board of
Regents is the governing
body of our college, it is
important that every student
understand the operation
and the structure of the
Board.
The structure of the
Board is parallel to the
structure of the college. It
consists of four committees:
Development, Academic
Affairs, Student Affairs and
Business Affairs. Each
vice-president in the college
administration serves as an
advisor to his respective
committee. The membership
of each committee is
approximately the same size,
with the committees meeting
during every general meeting

Augustana this fall as

of the University of North
Dakota, Mr. Clarke also
holds a Master's degree from
the University of Minnesota.
He has studied for several
years with Bernhard Weiser,
who has appeared several
times in concert in Sioux
Falls and will appear again as
soloist with the Sioux Falls
Symphony on December 8.
Mr. Clarke has formerly held
teaching positions at
Hamline University in St.
Paul and at Southwestern
College in Marshall,
Minnesota.

tries to stimulate additional
inquiry into the nature of
higher education through
direction and publications.
Dr. Thoreson, who has
been at Augustana since
19 5 3 , r e ceived his B.S.
degree from Concordia.
Gaining his M.A. at the

the University of Wyoming.
of the Board. They are also
subject to call.
The entire Board meets
three times during the school
year. Meetings are held in
October, February and in
May. During the first two
meetings, the governing body
meets first as a whole, then
in committees, and finally en
masse once again to discuss
the various points which
were brought up during the
committee meetings. In May,
however, the Board meets
with the Augustana
Association which owns the
college. During this time new
members are elected to the
Board if needed.
Membership on the Board
is divided into three-year
terms. A member may sit on
the Board for twelve
consecutive years before he
is forced to resign. However,
after he has been off the
Board for one year, he may
again hold a term consisting
of twelve years.
